xxx1928 Izhevsk Dragoon. Finn capture. No pics - she's apart and taking an oil batch.



xxxM91 NEW with US acceptance markings, obviously not finned, but the bolt does not match and includes some Russian parts. Wonder how that happened.
Floor plate not marked, mag body is Remington. Unfortunately the rear sight leaf sprinf is broken. Know where to get one?
Is 225 OTD too much for this one? I hope not, but M91's of any kind are very uncommon around these parts.

Cool. I like the M91 with the US markings. I wonder if perhaps it was used by the US army and that is why it has the marking.

Very cool Mosins!!!

The Westinghouse M91 was probably issued to the US expeditionary force sent to assist the White Russians.

Rear sight leaf spring will be a hard one to find. If i locate one you will be the first to know.
